Another One Bites the Dust

FDA's recently appointed director resigned unexpectedly.

But Crawford’s tenure was marked by increasing criticism of the agency, as the painkiller Vioxx was pulled off the market for safety problems and regulators held up wider access to emergency contraception.

Did Merck Pull Vioxx When It Said?

Hard to know what made Merck decide to pull Vioxx finally.

Of course, Merck claims that they pulled Vioxx off the market as soon as they realized the dangers after a 2004 study. I call a huge bullshit flag on that one. Chances are they pulled the drug off the market when someone threatened to make the damning data public, which would have resulted in an even worse public relations fiasco than they're dealing with now.

Inhaled Insulin

How much will the FDA change in a post-Vioxx world?

The gist of the article is that the FDA's review of Exubera, Pfizer's inhalable insulin, will be a test case to see how the post-Vioxx administration will handle drugs that come with potential hazards. The interesting bit to me, as a diabetic who also enjoys breathing, was this:
